Just about everything this corrupt asshole does is intolerable, but, even for him, this was pretty fucking low:
A judge blocked Texas’s attempt to shutter a decades-old migrant shelter network in a pair of rulings Tuesday, calling Ken Paxton’s actions “intolerable.”

How quickly we forget: There are so many things from the first Trump presidency that were plainly unconstitutional that courts never adjudicated, much less touch. Emoluments, racism in policymaking, animus toward religious minorities, vindictive deployments of agencies. The courts won’t save us.

A difference between me and many of my friends is that most of my friends believe that manners and decorum mean that a person will not participate in fascism. Maybe it is the lesson that my bitter Jewish grandmother taught me, but I've always believed that aristocrats can push us into the ovens.

the New York Times has descended into total nihilism; it doesn't give a damn about the truth, only about damaging Democrats and helping Trump. So it presents a video it acknowledges to be misleadingly edited as evidence for its thesis.

Not an outlier. In 2016, Trump said “There has to be some form of punishment" - and he's made it very clear the states can do what they want to control women:
